STAR Camp
Production Staff
John C. Barthelmes (Artistic Director/Acting Teacher)
This is John's fifth year directing STAR Camp. He can also be found
producing and directing Summer Stage Performing Arts Camp in Victor,
Gananda Community Youth Theatre, Gananda Middle School, Spotlight Theatre Arts, Greece Olympia High School, Greece Arcadia Middle School, Wayne Middle School, Gates Community Theatre and Roberts Wesleyan College-Community Theatre. John is a regular performer with the award winning Nuts and Bolts Comedy Improv Troupe, Joey and Maria's Comedy Wedding, and has been the Artistic Director for Gates Community Theatre for the past few years (and loves every second of everything he does).
During the day John is a Computer Science and Acting teacher at St.
John Fisher College. He also manages three cats. John's goals with STAR
Camp are to give children an opportunity to learn about theatre and about
themselves, work hard to improve their skills and talents, and encourage
them to perform to the best of their ability! Oh, he also expects them to
have a ton of fun doing it!
